Birmingham's discovery music festival returns the first weekend of August, when music fans will again take to downtown venues to hear music from their favorite and soon-to-be favorite bands. The 2014 Secret Stages lineup includes 60-plus bands spread across seven stages: Das Haus, Pale Eddie's, M Lounge, Matthew's, Harold and Mod (all ages stage), Miller Lite Outdoor Stage on Morris Avenue and the VIP lounge at Parthenon Event Center. The VIP lounge will feature three "secret" sets nightly, as well as catering and drinks from area vendors.

The year's lineup includes Birmingham's Armand Margjeka, The Green Seed and Urbandy, as well as a variety of bands from around the region. The event organizers will donate 20 percent of profits to Scrollworks Youth Music School and will provide free legal advice sessions for area musicians. Tickets are $15 for a venue pass (available at the venue itself), $25 for a day pass, $35 for a weekend pass or $75 for VIP. Find the full lineup and buy tickets at secretstages.net.
